Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast"

The AU Symphony Orchestra and Chorus collaborate to perform a lesser-known but important oratorio by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor—”Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast.” This work sets text from a section of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem Song of Hiawatha (1855) to jubilant music that narrates the marriage celebration of the fictional Ojibwe warrior Hiawatha to Minnehaha, a Dakota woman.
